Violin

Posted on 1 Sep ’10 by Nikki Murray

She chose the violin as her instrument orchestra this year. I imagined needing a pair of earplugs to muffle out the cat-screeching sounds when I took her to the store. When we brought it home, I had absolutely no idea what to do, other than tightening the bow strings. Thankfully, she is a quick study and has good teachers. She played her first song for me today, after only 3 classes. Yes, I’m a little proud.

    My name is Nikki Murray and I’m a mother of two who has been buried neck-deep in code since 1998. I presently work as a user experience and interface designer for a health IT company during the daylight hours. When I’m not freelancing during my off hours, I am prowling around with a camera or recklessly maneuvering needles.

    Also me:
